I hear that Poacher let himself down a bagful again last at the end of the Down game when he must have got into it with the Laois stats people at the back of the stand and he ended up throwing a bottle at them as he was going down the steps. The man just can't help himself.

A steep learning curve for many players tonight. Laois put on 6'6'' Donie Kingston and a few others much the same size, in comparison look who we were putting on. Good wee players but that's exactly what they are, wee. We really lack size and it cost us tonight.

I don't know why we are letting this lunatic SP compere our Night.

Because he's good at it. Go along, you might be surprised.

He'll probably spend the whole night giving his phone to people and asking them to take photos while he introduces the guests, asks questions, moves around the stage etc because that's all his twitter is full of (apart from the obvious).We could all get people to take photos of us doing our jobs which would be very boring in many cases so why does he constantly tweet photos of him doing what he is paid to do, his job?

Unfollow him then you twat.

So stating the obvious makes me a twat. Thanks for the advice by the way, sorry for speaking ill of your good buddy. BTW I don't follow him on twitter, bit sad if you follow opinionated fools like that.

There's nothing like putting people off going to this.I hope it goes well

That's just the phrase I was thinking myself Ed, men against boys. Our inability to covert plenty of possession into scoring opportunities, poor decision making and execution of the most basic of skills was the difference. Constant shouting from the line to 'get back', 'get back' and if that is the way we are going to play it, it's gonna be a long year. The tactic of putting all the big men on one side of the pitch and the keeper lobbing it up among them, then scraping for the break is pure genius, is this what a massive pay packet gets you these days?

And are CPN not a top team in Down? Get your facts right Cuan12 ya mouth. Semi final of the championship and second in division 1. If that's not a top team what is? I didn't say the top team I said a top team. I'll await your response

A sentence with the words Summer and Swallow comes to mind.

Where woukd frank be going to?
Pleasantly surprised by today's performance in Breffni Park. Some good performances from a lot of players and I made it 11/12 debuts handed out today along with the returning Jerome Johnstone and Pat Havern. Great to see Ryan Johnstone back on the pitch. Shooting was the problem today as like last year. The handpass rule is so bad.

Just wondering smurfy if Down were as defensively set up yesterday as I have heard?

Irish News says, there has been speculation that Daryl & Aaron Branagan could join the panel. Here's hoping it's true, would be a big boost consider the amount of players away or unavailable for whatever reasons.

Probably the same hack who had Mickey Cunningham back from the States to play and not a word of truth in it.  I wouldn't be holding my breath waiting on them to commit.

Conor Deegan confirmed as Mayobridge manager

He must have given up his post as U.20 Manager as he can't do both.

Any word on the new set up? Potential panel?

Wise up

They were due to get together and train in the Abbey yesterday evening only the Pitches haven't been cut - FACT

That's a shit excuse, there's a 4G pitch there.

Are you seriously telling us that current or potential county players were meant to be training in the Abbey this week? So we have the 1/4 finals of Championship next weekend and these players were released by their clubs, get real. I know that Tally has to justify the serious note he is on (reported £70k in Galway so at least that) but I couldn't see him having too many at this time of the year.

I think that Tally is the best we could have wished for and I am delighted that none of the other knobs who were linked with the job were appointed. His record is decent and he has added a bit of organisation and steel to Galway this year. He has already started work in the media and is trying to portray himself as a players man to entice those many players who have turned the county down in recent times that he is something different, I just hope this works. In Galway he had plenty to work with though and some absolutely outstanding forwards in the likes of Walsh and Comer, I just don't see that with potential with us. In St Mary's he had players who were prepared to work for him and that's the challenge he has in Down. I have watched many club championship games the last few weeks and I just don't see the county players or indeed new potential we need to make a difference. I don't mean to rain on this big parade but I can't see any movement out of Division 3 this year with minimal impact on the Ulster Championship in 2019. I hope I am wrong though.

One of the most disappointing things for me was his failure to speak, or even say sorry, in English.  His message was fine but I didn't hear it from him, I heard it from someone telling me what he had said yet the man was able to read some bits in English.  Was there anything As Gaeilge?

Did he get the Cavan job?
Confirmed?

No

Michael Graham proposed as Cavan Manager
Cavan County Board Management Committee last night ratified Michael Graham as the new Senior Football Team Manager. The committee are proposing Michael for ratification by county committee on Mon evening.

Have you said to him you've had enough? Or just come on here to be an anonymous troll??
